Boss Tactics: Opera - Romulo and Julianne
Encounter Flow
Encounter Setup: Julianne appears on stage, hostile.
- Julianne dies - Romulo appears, immediately attacking.
- Romulo dies - Julianne comes back to life, resurrects Romulo, then both attack.
- Thereafter, either Romulo or Julianne dies while the other remains alive for more than 10 seconds - One resurrects the other.

- Blinding Passion: 2 seconds cast, dealing 1500 holy damage then additional 750 every second for 4 seconds.

Romulo
Immunities: To be verified Probably Taunt.
- Melee: To be added
- Backward Lunge: Attack an enemy behind Romulo, dealing 1900-2100 damage and knocking back.
- Deadly Swathe: Cleave attack dealing melee damage plus 110.

- Daring: Dispellable self buff, increasing physical damage dealt and attack speed by 35%. Lasts for 8 seconds.
Roles
- Main Tank (MT)
- Protection of Feral. Crush immune preferred.
- Off Tank (OT)
- Same as MT. Warrior preferred (for Shield Bash).
- Healers
- Holy or Restoration. At least two.
- Spell Interrupters
- Mage, Shaman, Rogue, Warrior or Warlock with a Felhound pet.
- Dispellers
- Priest, Hunter, Shaman or Warlock with a Felhound pet.
Strategy
- Julianne -
- MT tanks her in a corner.
- Spell Interrupters prevent her from casting any spell, thus reducing combat time (less heals) and overall healing needed.
- Dispellers remove her Devotion buff as soon as she casts it.
- Romulo -
- MT tanks him in another corner, with his back to a wall, but not against it.
- Melee DPS position themselves at Romulo's side, trying to avoid both his Backward Lunge and Deadly Swathe.
- Warrior disarms Romulo to reduce his damage output.
- Dispellers remove his Daring buff as soon as he casts it.
- Romulo and Julianne -
- Both rise where they died. MT tanks Romulo in one corner, OT tanks Julianne in the other.
- Individual boss tactics remain the same as mentioned above.
- DPS deals damage to either Romulo or Julianne until he/she reaches 10% of his/her life, then switch to DPS the other.
- Julianne's heals should be watched carefully. In case the first target's health rises above 10%, the raid must DPS it again before continuing with the other.
- Once the second target is dead, all DPS must return immediately to the first target, in order to kill it within 10 seconds.
- Failing the above will result in the first boss returning with full health to life. Raid condition permitting, step 3 must be repeated.
